Self-Harm

*Trigger warning* 

Hey. So this is an extremely touchy subject. And something i can relate to greatly. If you do not know what self-harm is it is really just hurting yourself and “enjoying” the pain. That is a terrible description but hopefully by the end of this you understand it more.

Self-harm can include many things. Cutting, burning, biting, scratching, hitting yourself, stabbing yourself; those are just a few. The most popular is cutting and its the only one i have experience in. These are done on the wrists most likely. If not its done on the hips or the thighs. Some people will say that they could only do their wrists; if they did it anywhere else it felt like they were betraying something. Others started on their wrists but unfortunately they “ran out of space” and moved to other places. Some people wanted to do their wrists but didn’t want to wear long sleeves all the time and also didn’t want to have to hide their wrist from everyone. Its really different for everyone.

The problem with self-harming. It IS an addiction. That sounds bad but its just like cigarettes and alcohol. Addicting and takes over most of your life. Some people (the tumblr ones) say that everyone needs something to take away the pain; be that sex, drugs, alcohol, or self harm. That is really not true in most cases but in some cases it is.

Another problem with self harming. Once someone finds out you get quite a lot of attention. If your in school you have weekly visits with a guidance counselor, your teachers may treat you differently, and most of all; students WILL think you are weird. Now you may not think this is true and in a few cases its not. The only experience i have are me and my friends. For me i had people literally come up to me and say you have no reason for that your life is perfect. I will say one day why that isn’t true but that greatly pissed me off. My friends were exiled and treated like the weird kid. One thing that comes with self harming. The attention seekers. I hate saying that but it is true. I was one. I had underlying reasons but in the beginning they weren’t big enough to self-harm. I know someone currently who does this. Its so stupid that someone would put themselves through pain they didn’t even want just for some lousy people thinking that you are weird and terrible. And most people who start then realize that they cant stop no matter how hard they try.

The last thing i will say about self-harm. WHEN SOMEONE SELF HARMS THEY ARE IN SOME WAY DEPRESSED. No matter if they live in a mansion and get whatever they want. With depression usually comes loss of will to live or thoughts about suicide. I will probably go more in depth about this but my blog is much longer than i’m required and i would rather get this done so i could finish something else. I will leave you with this. You ARE worth it. Don’t ever let someone make you think that you aren’t.

(as my viewers seem to be from the US) here are some hotlines in the US:

US Suicide Hotline

1-800-784-2433

NDMDA Depression Hotline – Support Group

800-826-3632

I know you all can make it. Just one more day. Tell yourself that.
